[FFmpeg-user] Overlay Error reoccurring

[John Henderson]

Hi Ted,

Its John again, I followed your Guidance and changed a bit of the code but
I am still getting an error of Unable to find a suitable output format for
'box=1:shado etc etc

I am testing the code directly in cmd.exe with the following, but I still
cant see the wood for the trees lol.

Ive broken it down into segments, but anything I change produces errors all
though this version is more consistent.

ffmpeg.exe -y -rtbufsize 1500M

-vf
drawtext=fontfile=C:\Windows\ARLRDBD.TTF:text='SnatchMediaPlayer':fontcolor=white:fontsize=24:
box=1:shadowcolor=darkblue:shadowx=1:shadowy=1:boxcolor=blue at 0.6
:boxborderw=5:x=50:y=H-th-50

-f dshow -i audio="Microphone (High Definition Audio Device)"
-f dshow -i audio=virtual-audio-capturer
-f gdigrab -framerate 50 -i desktop -codec:v h264_nvenc -qp 0
-filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]amerge=inputs=2[a]"
-map 2 -map "[a]"
C:\Users\User\source\repos\Mini-Media-Streamer\Mini-Media-Streamer\bin\Debug\Recordings\ScreenRecorder20201022105556.mkv

Let me know what you think?

Thanks again

John
